Connecting XP box to Domain

Greetings fellow key ticklers,
I've done this over and over. I have a new XP box to connect to my Domain.
It doesn't find it.
I go to Control Panel->System and say add to Domain and it cannot find the
domain controller. I added it to the DNS Forward and Reverse lookup zones.
It got replicated to the other DC. I added it as a computer to the AD. It is
in the other DC now. I can ping from the new machine to both DC's, but
neither DC can ping the new machine. Uhhh. What the??? Any suggestions?
T'anks, Mike Breeden - Vice Manager of Wire Stripping

That's unusual that you had to turn off Norton Firewall in order to get
connected. Norton is supposed to have that pre-configured to detect whether
you are joining a domain unless you turned on the firewall with the highest
settings. Glad you got it working.
